A garden in Monkhopton was being ruined by the presence of moles, not only were the mole hills providing a visual annoyance, the mole tunnels were dividing the turf from the soil. After successfully removing one mole, fresh activity was noticed and a mole trap was set. On checking the traps this week, the offending mole has been caught.

I was called to a property in Rowton Shropshire to control the mole infestation in their horse paddocks, well aware of the danger that subterranean workings can cause. After setting the traps, we came back to check them this week, and have taken four moles from the land. The traps were reset and will be checked again soon.

Taking 2 breeding pairs from the land, means that the mole population has been reduced by a maximum of 18 moles.

This lawn was showing the signs of established mole activity, even the mowers weekly charge wasn't stopping them. That's where Mr Mole Man was called in, one was caught on the day of setting the traps, and one checking the traps today, and further three moles have been caught. The difference in activity is very noticeable and I knew before checking the traps that success was in the air.

This video gives a detailed description of how to set the No Mol mole trap, which is ideal for setting around tree roots and walls. As it says in the video it is essential to practice setting before you are out in the field as it can prove tricky at first.
